padding-line-between-statements

danger
We strongly recommend you do not use this rule or any other formatting linter rules. Use a separate dedicated formatter instead. See What About Formatting? for more information.

Require or disallow padding lines between statements.

🛠

Some problems reported by this rule are automatically fixable by the --fix ESLint command line option.

Examples​

This rule extends the base eslint/padding-line-between-statements rule. It adds support for TypeScript constructs such as interface and type.

How to Use​

.eslintrc.cjs
module.exports = {
  "rules": {
    // Note: you must disable the base rule as it can report incorrect errors
    "padding-line-between-statements": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/padding-line-between-statements": "warn"
  }
};

Options​

See eslint/padding-line-between-statements options.

In addition to options provided by ESLint, interface and type can be used as statement types.

For example, to add blank lines before interfaces and type definitions:

{
  // Example - Add blank lines before interface and type definitions.
  "padding-line-between-statements": "off",
  "@typescript-eslint/padding-line-between-statements": [
    "error",
    {
      "blankLine": "always",
      "prev": "*",
      "next": ["interface", "type"]
    }
  ]
}

Note: ESLint cjs-export and cjs-import statement types are renamed to exports and require respectively.
